Tips and Tricks In Your Inbox!

That was the response from Philip Sum on Google Plus when I asked my friends if they can review a small ebook I was writing for Chromebook users. Yes, setting up Chromebook is as easy as opening the the lid and logging in.

So, why a guide to get started with Chromebook?

My own experience.

I have been blogging about Chrome OS for sometime now. But I got my own Chromebook only this month. It was using Chromum OS on a netbook and knew how to use a Chromebook. But an actual Chromebook is different from a netbook with Chromium OS.

The keyboard is different. There are keyboard shortcuts and settings that you can change for a better experience. I had to Google a couple of things (and yes, search results had articles I wrote!) like taking screenshot and replacement for the Delete key.

That’s when I had the idea of writing a very small ebook to help new Chromebook users get started.

Thanks, Reviewers

I got very positive response from my Google Plus circle, offering to review the Chromebook. Their review did help this ebook a lot, but more than that, it helped me feel better, you know, that positive energy that you always look for!

It would make sense to add a Date to your publications going forward, as this looks a little out dated, but I have no actual Date to go by..
I love the idea tho .. and hope you please keep it updated and relevant.

I teach at a very small school and have manage GA4E and our school’s 25 Chromebooks by myself.

These lists are extremely helpful — and I wondered if you might consider one more: 100 Tips for Chromebook Administrators (or whatever yoiu want to call it).

There would be things like pre-installing approved apps for students, how to block offensive websites, how to add default tabs/websites on boot-up, how to do a password protect which starts on “inactivity,” and anything like that.

But even if you decide not to, I certainly find these pages very helpful. Thanks again!

I would love to write such a guide, but unfortunately, I do not have access to a control panel. If I ever get one, I will write resources for Chromebook admins.
